Issues like anxiety, depression, and chronic “stuckness” are often rooted in the subconscious.
These are approaches that go beyond talking and work directly with the deeper layers of the mind. This work helps you: Release long-standing emotional patterns; feel more calm, clear, and in control; and reconnect with yourself in a grounded, lasting way.

I primarily work with women who are recovering from trauma—especially relationship wounds, systemic harassment, and sexual trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, stuck in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries—often after experiences that have impacted their self-trust, voice, or sense of identity. Therapy with me is a space to come back to yourself—at your own pace, in your own way.

At times, we can feel closed off, disconnected, or overwhelmed by hurt and self-protection. This may show up as self-criticism, low self-confidence, anger, isolation, unhealthy relationship patterns, or a sense of feeling stuck. When these experiences persist, they can affect many areas of life and how we relate to ourselves and others. My role is to support you in reconnecting with your inner resources and developing the tools needed to heal past wounds, restore balance, and move forward with greater clarity and ease.

I have extensive experience working with developmental attachment trauma, anxiety, self esteem issues, relational issues, anxiety, and grief.
Our current expression of self is often shaped by a mixture of our early positive or negative experiences, attachments or lack thereof, biology, and environmental circumstance. As adaptive beings we develop ways of coping, patterns of emotionality, behavior, and strategies of relating to ourselves and other. Sometimes these ways of being are not working anymore.Luckily, there resides in all life a wisdom of self-healing. My role as a counselor is to provide a space for re-discovering and empowering that wisdom. Recent research has discovered that the nervous system can rewire itself through positive relational experience.

You probably don't need more insight, you need change. From the outside, things look like they’re working. But certain patterns keep showing up. You procrastinate on work that matters to you. You replay conversations after they’re over. You might choose partners who need fixing or feel stuck between pushing yourself harder and feeling exhausted. People-pleasing, perfectionism, staying in control may have helped you get to where you are but now those patterns can start creating pressure in relationships, work, and daily life.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
